Because I'm impatient and I can see every stop between B&H and New Orleans. :D

I feel like I'm 8-years-old and in the back seat of my father's unairconditioned Volkswagon Fastback. "How much longer until we're there, Dad?"

I know that the delivery date is tomorrow. I know it's all running like clockwork. But COME ON! don't give me the ability to check it's progress every five minutes.

"Is it here yet?"

"Is it here yet?"

"Oh! It's left Secaucus!"

"Is it here yet?"

It's like giving an addict in your back seat some crack to smoke and telling him the next fix will be in 300 miles.

So move nearer.

The bad part is when you get the shipping notice and get to wait all day until UPS actually picks it up from the loading dock!

MASPETH,

And that won't change until some time after 8 tonight!

I'm getting a 36" light tent in the first order. I'm getting the Wolverine 120-Gig portable storage unit, the docking station, remote control, and extra battery in the second shipment.

Been there, refreshed that web page; again; and again; and again... {F5} "C'mon, pick up the box" {F5} "Scan the damned thing at the distribution center so I'll know where it is..." {F5} {F5} {F5} {F5} {F5} "...why don't they scan it and put it on the truck?!?!?"

My favorite heart attack is when I've seen "Origin Scan" for more than a day and then BLAM it's suddenly three scan later. I just KNOW I was looking at the UPS Tracking report between "Origin Scan" and now, but why didn't it show me the individual stages???

"Dad, we in Mississippi yet?"
"Not yet. Still in Louisiana."
"Dad, we in Mississippi yet?"
"Not yet"
"Dad, we in Mississippi yet?"
"Not yet"
"Dad, we in Mississippi yet?"
"We've already left Mississippi and we're halfway through Alabama."
"Wait! What happened to Mississippi!"

Sing along with Carly:

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway, yay
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasin' after some finer day

Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me
But I, I rehearsed those lines just late last night
When I was thinkin' about how right tonight might be

Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

And tomorrow we might not be together
I'm no prophet and I don't know nature's ways
So I'll try and see into your eyes right now
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days

(These are the good old days)
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days
(These are the good old days)
(These are the good old days)
(These are the good old days)
(These are.....the good old days)

I hate it when it shows out for delivery at 5:16 AM and you just know it won't show up until 3:30 PM. Hey! Just give me GPS tracking for the truck and I'll meet the guy. :)

I'n getting something today from BH also, the annoying part is the expected delivery time is from 7am to 7pm. Wish it was a little bit more specific =)

I really wish that they would do this. It would be extremely helpful.

If you "HATE THE UPS TRACKING SYSTEM!!!" then you'll REALLY hate the USPS tracking system. I recently got a package in the mail long before the USPS tracking system even showed it was anywhere near my part of the country
